...visual originality. Curiosity Shop, a one-hour show aimed at children aged six to eleven, is purportedly devoted to helping children question and deal with ideas. It is peopled with puppets and three children who ask disarming questions. There are animations, films and music. Curiosity Shop is inoffensive and cute, but on the whole trivial. And it is debatable how far a child-or a show-can go with questions like "What would it be like without thumbs...
...chubby and cute Vietnamese children who play the leads hardly look as if they had been savaged by the war. Yet, if Coutard has been rather sloppy about realism, he is scrupulous in avoiding propaganda. He refuses to take sides. Hung overhears an American defending his country's participation, and later, when he is taken to a political meeting, listens to a member of the N.L.F. explain its ideology.

I can't even read the newspaper. I don't feel at ease with American women. They're too perfect; their paradise of honesty doesn...
...reactionary-that is, a conservative who is not cute," is Donald Barr's own description of himself. To some of the militantly progressive parents of Manhattan's prestigious Dalton School, the very word reactionary is anathema, and some of the methods Barr has imposed on the generally permissive Dalton system in his seven years as headmaster have aroused fierce controversy. Just three months ago, dissident parents mounted a major effort to oust him, and were only narrowly defeated...
